Have the Vatican got it right? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48584892

The answer to that question, on almost every issue ever, is no, absolutely not.

No. Just like the so called Islamic state group, the Vatican are trying to dictate to people how to live their lives.

One thing is for sure - no matter how you self-identify, if you are young and vulnerable, a Catholic priest somewhere will want to rape you.

Wow this guy is a real extremist, I find it incredibly concerning he has managed to become a school governor, the school needs to be inspected immediately. Not only that, he is designated as the anti bullying governor. I presume he has no problem with any LGBT pupils or parents getting bullied, as he partakes in it himself. “Christian parents need to follow the example of our Muslim neighbours and insist on their basic human right to have their children educated accorded to their own beliefs.” How can someone believe this, and then be placed in charge of a school. There is no such right to dictate what your children are taught. What if someone believes black and white children shouldn’t mix, or if someone believes the holocaust didn’t happen and was a big hoax. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/po ... =ypreshare

Sticking my head above the parapet , sex/gender education of any kind should not be included in school itinaries until well into secondary school. Kids until then should not be sexually advised or coerced in any way in either direction & certainly not before mid teens when puberty has been reached. I fully support the parents who are picketing the Birmingham school.

I was taught maths from a very young age - I did not go on to become a mathematician; on that basis, I'm confident that if children are taught that homosexuals exist, they won't all turn gay.

Will they get taught about Man Utd fans? They exist, they’ll come across them too in their lives. Will they be taught about the Irish famine? Probably not. What about how to get a mortgage? Or how to have an interview? Or get out of debt or how to manage money? Or extra PE to get them off their Xboxes.

There’s a lot more important subjects need teaching before LGBT studies but like the Birmingham school that’s having demonstrations outside, isn’t it funny that the headmaster is gay and he decided he wanted to teach this subject. Its better left out of the education system, they only teach sex education so that they can teach contraception so there’s not as many 15 year olds becoming parents unable to look after their kids.

They are still taught English, Maths and PE.
The headteacher’s sexuality has nothing to do with it. Teaching about families and relationships is part of the national curriculum. What they are taught in primary school is incredibly basic, for example two male penguins live together in a family. If that causes you to protest outside a primary school, write an article claiming it is child abuse, or even object in anyway you really do have something wrong with you. Some people are gay, that is the fact that is been taught and it can’t be objected to.

Agreed - and the moral outrage that has been manufactured and perpetuated is almost exclusively devoid of facts.

The interesting aspect is that it's forced white people who suddenly identify as Christians, because it suits them when they want to bash gays, to stand in solidarity with Muslims - a position which I expect is not where they usually find themselves.

The lesson here is not that children shouldn't be taught about sex in relationships in all their forms - but that religion should be kept well and truly out of a child's life until it is old enough to realise for itself that it's all made up claptrap from medieval times, when we needed an explanation for things that have long since been explained. By science.

You may scoff at religion because you’re far too clever and enlightened to believe it but it’s helped a hell of a lot of people through hard times and it’s been the bedrock of our society for the last few hundred years, yes it’s also been the source of misery for a good number of people through war or abuse but the good far outweighs the bad.

I’ll leave it you to you to go and tell the little old lady having their last rights read that it’s all made up and she’s lived a clean life for no reason.

On the subject of what gets taught to children should be up to their parents or primary care provider, if the parents of a child don’t want their children to be used as a political pawn in the push for the LGBT cause then so be it, all you’ll have is a very confused bunch of kids who grow up to be very confused people.

The best place to teach or at least help people who are LGBT come out or whatever is collage and University, not in the primary school.

This seems to have drifted off topic.



From your post on page 1 it seems you are of the opinion that men(?) in the catholic church are all rapists - so you don't have faith.

I don't trust parents,politicians or religious folk.I must be a misanthropist.However,those Scientists cannot tell me correctly,what the weather will be like at 2.30pm next Tuesday,despite all the modern equipment,not to mention their insecurity that they have to post messages on London buses;not cheap.

On the issue of parents,human rights,and cost to the NHS.How can children decide they want to change gender?

The cost for this - and the female gender of an older age group and their 'vanity' jobs,has to bankrupting the NHS.

That's not *at all* what I said.



I don't understand any of that; sorry.
